A terminology standard is a fundamental standard. Its purpose is to support the work of the other committees by providing them with the terminology to draft linguistically and conceptually consistent standards or documents.

illustration of the feedback

The image above shows two groups of 3 silhouettes, one in the top right, the other in the lower left. The image also shows two arrows. One arrow points from the top group to the bottom one, the other from the bottom group to the top one. This represents the feedback cycle of consultation.

A feedback mechanism must therefore be established between the terminology committee and the committee(s) developing the standards or documents. Further, the committees must work collaboratively.
